Abstract | ||
The aim of the present research was to study the effect of aerobic training on inflammatory markers of cardiovascular disease risk in obese men. For this purpose, 24 male subjects (age 35 – 48) (16 obese, 8 lean) involuntarily participated in our study. Obese men were randomly assigned to one of two groups: aerobic training or control group. The 3rd group was called lean men group. Blood samples were taken (5cc) in fasting state from all subjects. The experimental subjects received aerobic training for 13 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The aerobic training program included continuous running (in gymnasium) with an intensity of 75 – 85% maximal heart rate. Results showed that aerobic training caused a significant decrease in the serum CRP and WBC levels of the obese men (? = 0.05). In addition, they determined that in obese men at baseline state serum CRP and WBC concentrations were significantly higher than those in lean men (P<0.05). We concluded that aerobic training caused a decrease in the inflammatory markers and probably decreased future cardiovascular risk in obese men | ||
